Overview

• Wrestlepalooza marked WWE’s first premium live event on ESPN and delivered key results: Brock Lesnar beat John Cena, AJ Lee and CM Punk won when Lee submitted Becky Lynch, Stephanie Vaquer captured the Women’s World Title, and Cody Rhodes retained over Drew McIntyre.
• ESPN combat sports writer Andreas Hale gave the event a C overall, praising Vaquer vs. Iyo Sky as the standout while calling the show underwhelming.
• Jey Uso was reported to have entered concussion protocol after a chair spot in The Usos’ loss to The Vision, and he later told fans on Instagram, “I’m good,” with his return timeline still unclear.
• Multiple outlets cited BodySlam.net’s claim that the Lesnar–Cena finish was changed the morning of the show, a backstage report that remains unconfirmed by major outlets.
• On Raw, WWE set Crown Jewel direction with Cody Rhodes versus Seth Rollins announced for Oct. 11 in Perth and new champion Stephanie Vaquer slated to defend against the winner of Tiffany Stratton vs. Nia Jax vs. Jade Cargill.
